1 + 4 = 5
The end result is the sum of the two numbers. Since it is the first equation, there is no previous result that can be added. Then we get 5.
2 + 5 = 12
This time we add 2 + 5 and add the previous result 5.
Calculation: (2 + 5) + 5 = 12.
3 + 6 = 21
We’ll apply the same logic, add 3 + 6 together, and then add the previous result, which is 12.
Calculation: (3 + 6) + 12 = 21.
What is the solution for 5 + 8?
Let’s apply the rule:
(5 + 8) + 21 = 34.
So the answer is 34.
Why puzzles like this are so captivating
These kinds of puzzles perfectly show that sometimes you have to change your point of view to solve a problem. As in life, some solutions are not immediately obvious. It is therefore important to develop the ability to analyze situations from different angles so that we can better adapt to unexpected situations
